Call of the Wild
Before you begin your adventure into the museum, make sure you pick up an activity sheet to help you discover a little more as you go through. Each activity sheet is designed for different age groups, so no one is left out. Once you are finished going through the museum, you can turn in each activity sheet for a prize!
Then the adventure begins! The wildlife museum features a wide variety of animals, habitats, and activities. The animals range in size from a 6 inch Long Least weasel to an 11 foot tall standing Polar Bear! Each display depicts the animal's natural habitat and normal activities. Some displays also have the sounds of the animal. Have you ever seen a Bobcat and Coyote fighting over an injured grouse? Heard the midnight howling of a pack of wolves?
